Default Flying Club Billing

" Not particularly well suited, but cheap " yes....and cost
is a big part of assessing software and billing systems...you want
cheap, paid for, and soething that gets the job done...see if you
can get the little bugs fixed using quickbooks, excel, and maybe
access.......Use the tools you alreadu have b4 looking to
spend addt'l $$ to shop, install, train on new systems...I can't think
of situations where you shouldn't be able to fix small stiff....run a
craigslist ad for a high school kid to assist amd a low hrly rate if
needed...I have seen 5-10m sized companies run fine on quickbooks...

good luck !!

I am part of a very small flying club that shares the cost and
ownership of an aircraft.

We've been handling the billing for flights and such for a number of
years with simple versions of quickbooks and its, well, just ok at
handling this. Not particularly well suited, but cheap. Unfortunately
a bit cumbersome and could probably do more if I wanted to become a
quickbooks guru (which I really would prefer not to).

Is there anything inexpensive out there that does a great job of
keeping track of invoices, fuel reimbursements, credits for expenses
and electronic (email) billing?

I am trying not to make a career out of billing for the club (my
contribution) so I thought I would ask.

Thanks
